Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-16616:
-----------------------------------------
Scanner is one-shot though, you can't filter to create a Scanner and then
filter it again, you can only Scan.
> [Python] Allow lazy evaluation of filters in Dataset and add Datset.filter

> To keep the {{Dataset}} api compatible with the {{Table}} one in terms of
> analytics capabilities, we should add a {{Dataset.filter}} method. The
> initial POC was based on {{_table_filter}} but that required materialising
> all the {{Dataset}} content after filtering as it returned an
> {{{}InMemoryDataset{}}}.
> Given that {{Scanner}} can filter a dataset without actually materialising
> the data until a final step happens, it would be good to have
> {{Dataset.filter}} return some form of lazy dataset when the filter is only
> stored aside and the Scanner is created when data is actually retrieved.
> PS: Also update {{test_dataset_filter}} test to use the {{Dataset.filter}}
> method
